Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Clarenceville School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board to Vote on Secretive ‘Miller Johnson’ Policy Updates
The board is voting on a large batch of policy updates from the law firm Miller Johnson, spanning 20 pages (38-57) of the agenda packet. The text of these updates has not been provided, preventing public review. These types of omnibus updates are often used to quietly introduce controversial policies on gender identity, parental rights, and student discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND A DELAY: This is a high-priority threat. Open the attachments for Item 14.e in the Official Agenda (linked above) immediately. Contact the District Office to get Board Member emails and write: ‘We demand the vote on Item 14.e, the Miller Johnson Policy Updates, be postponed until the full text of all proposed changes has been public for at least 30 days for parental review. Do not vote on policies parents haven’t been allowed to read.’
💰 Impact: Your Parental Rights

Vote Scheduled on Undisclosed Technology Purchases
The board is scheduled to vote on ‘Technology Purchases’ referenced on pages 31-35 of the agenda, but the details of these purchases have not been made public. This could include new student-facing software (EdTech), 1:1 devices, or other screen-based programs without any evidence of academic effectiveness or parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 14.c in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the specific vendors and costs. If it involves student-facing software like i-Ready, Lexia, or Nearpod, contact the Board immediately: ‘Before voting on Item 14.c, please provide the public with independent evidence of this product’s academic effectiveness and an accounting of the total daily screen time it will add for students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Board Limits Public Comment to 3 Minutes Per Person
The board’s policy under Item 10 limits each member of the public to three minutes of speaking time, with an initial 30-minute total cap. This procedural rule can be used to silence parental concerns on controversial topics by cutting off speakers or preventing everyone from being heard.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Sign up to speak at the meeting. If the board cuts off speakers, publicly object and demand that all parents who signed up are heard. Contact the Board President via the district office: ‘The 3-minute time limit in Item 10 is not sufficient for complex issues. We request the board extend the time for public comment to ensure all parental voices are heard.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parental Voice

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New ‘Student Support Coach’ Hired on Consent Agenda
The district is hiring a ‘Student Support Coach’ for the Middle School, bundled into the consent agenda (Item 8.a) to avoid individual discussion. These roles often focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and behavioral interventions rather than academics, acting as a school-based counselor without clear parental consent for services.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board and Superintendent before the meeting. ‘Regarding Consent Agenda Item 8.a, please pull the hiring of the Student Support Coach for a separate discussion. Parents deserve to know the job description, goals, and curriculum for this role before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Staffing
